1. Do you really think he would be worse than Ray-gun?
I don't.

4. In what way?
He couldn't be more fiscally irresponsible.

He couldn't do more to destroy the regulatory function of the Federal Govt.

He couldn't do more to destroy the organized labor movement.

How do you see him as worse?

7. 100 more years in Iraq, Terrible Supreme court picks, keeping Bush's tax cuts
in place and no doubt adding to them after he gets more pressure from the anti-tax nuts so imo he would be worse.

13. But Regan did all that Except the 100 yrs war
And he did it worse than even GWB.

Remember Reganomics? Cut taxes on the rich. Spend more that ALL previous presidents COMBINED! Borrow more than all previous presidents COMBINED.

He also cut funding for FDA, USDA, FAA, OSHA, EPA, FEMA, NLRB and many other agencies that protect non-wealthy Americans.

And don't forget his cold war programs like "star wars". Regan picked on the big boys, not petty little dictators in the Middle East.

But that's just my POV.

3. Depends if we bomb-bomb-bomb Iran or not
That would be the clincher.

8. I'm not even cool with his caveats
So he imagines it being like our presence in South Korea or Germany. We don't have an active combat role, but we're there.

That is not OK! The Iraqis don't want us in their country under any circumstances.

11. Insane McCain would kill us all.......and Clinton aint much better
She's a chickenhawk too.

That nuclear umbrella over the middle east is far more frightening than 100 years in Iraq.

12. The question is whether he will be fit enough
to last a full term before essentially handing the reigns over to some political appointee(s).

14. what really scares me besides more war is the Supreme Court, you know when
Bush finally leaves office that some justices will probably retire and the very thought of another republican appointing their replacements is just horrific. How long will it take now to undue some of what they've done already? We're burning daylight here and we don't the luxury of a McCain win.
